Verstappen can live after a difficult day with second place in Austria
Max Verstappen could live with second place in the Austrian Grand Prix. The reigning world champion started from pole position but was overtaken after about twelve laps by Charles Leclerc in his Ferrari, who won the race.
“It was a difficult day,” said Verstappen. “We had a lot of problems, especially with the tires and that was with all types of tyres. There was too much wear, but a second place is still a good result on a difficult day.”
The Red Bull driver would have enjoyed all the fans in orange and the many orange clouds of smoke. “That was fun. It’s a nice color anyway so I don’t mind driving through it. It’s a shame I couldn’t give the fans a win.”
